A book must be an axe for the frozen sea within us - Kafka. (My cartoon for today’s Guardian books.)

Watching #Twister#Twisters (2024). 15 minutes exposition: all characters are introduced AND already characterised a bit, the stakes are set including 3 interpersonal conflicts! I mean, part of it is probably nostalgia. But at least this one has oneliners.

Thank god we didn't watch it in the cinema. Waste of money. #Twisters (I mean, we wasted money, but not as much.)

Oh my gosh and now, in the last 30 minutes, youbwanna gonfor a second love interest... Why? No one asked for the first one! #Twisters

Last third ot the movie, and now she is quirky girl. It's better than nothing girl I guess. And the whole vibe of the movie changes suddenly. WTF #Twisters

The main character is magic trauma girl, but has no personality. There are like 14 people there and all are shitty, except for the reporter. I don't care about any of them. Gawd, the Helen Hunt movie at least had characters. #Twisters

Team von 7 Leuten, darunter 2 Frauen. Team von 8 Leuten, darunter 1 Frau. Leute, #Twisters macht es nicht besser als der damals in den 90ern. Nur warvder lustiger.

Watching #TerminatorZero: Terminator's knee gives out on escalator. Wife: We're over 40, we feel you. (The show is pretty good btw.)

Once my German friend asked what creative people do without arts grants and other support in the US and I felt like a parent trying to explain to their kid that the puppies can die sometimes
